Description
Long considered a luxury item, jams became commonplace in the early nineteenth century with the discovery of beet sugar. Today, jam is considered a food of fun and has become an emblem of French culture, pairing with “French toast” and for use in a bread-butter-jam sandwich.
Haute-Provence, through the Durance and its tributaries, is one of the first and oldest French-producing regions of fruits. Apple and pear trees line the roads, but also lavender and aromatic plants without which Provence is not the same. The Haute-Provence region of France is called the “Land of Scents and Flavors”, making a jam from that area a natural idea. For nearly 25 years, the AGRO’NOVAE company has been located there, using local fruit in all of its culinary creations.
